         In 1963 with the objective of producing a refined grand touring car to compete with offerings from established marques such as Ferrari. 
         The company's first models were released in the mid-1960s and were noted for their refinement, power and comfort. 
         Lamborghini gained wide acclaim in 1966 for the Miura sports coupé, which established rear mid-engine, rear wheel drive as the standard layout for high-performance cars of the era.
         Towards the end of the 2000s, Lamborghini produced a number of revisions of the Murciélago and Gallardo. Lamborghini released the Reventón, a limited-edition derivative of the Murciélago featuring a newly designed body with more angular styling, and a roadster the following year.
          The final update to the Murciélago came in 2009 with the release of the LP 670–4 SV ("SuperVeloce").</p>
                  <br />

<p>After ten years of Murciélago series production, Lamborghini produced the 4,000th example, an LP 670–4 SV destined for China, in February 2010. Lamborghini produced the last Murciélago, number 4,099, on 11 May 2010, but did not officially mark the end of production until six months later on 5 November 2010.

<p>&nbsp; Lamborghini achieved its highest ever yearly sales figure in 2008, selling 2,430 vehicles.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During this decade the Asia-Pacific market became more important to the company's sales&nbsp; performance, growing to represent 25 percent of Lamborghini's overall worldwide sales. Despite the strength of the Asia-Pacifc market, the effects of the world financial crisis that began in 2007 caused Lamborghini's sales to drop almost 50% below their 2008 peak, selling 1,515 vehicles in 2009 and 1,302 vehicles in 2010.</p><asp:Image
